1 For discussion on 8 June 2012 FCR( )39 ITEM FOR FINANCE COMMITTEE CAPITAL WORKS RESERVE FUND HEAD 710 COMPUTERISATION Office of the Government Chief Information Officer New Subhead Implementation of a Government Cloud Platform Members are invited to approve a new commitment of $242,000,000 for the implementation of a Government Cloud Platform. PROBLEM In order to meet the rising expectations and demand from the public for quality government services, the Government needs to continuously enhance the cost-effectiveness and responsiveness in e-government service delivery. PROPOSAL 2. The Government Chief Information Officer, with the support of the Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development, proposes to create a new commitment of $242,000,000 to implement a Government Cloud Platform (GovCloud). JUSTIFICATION Support the development of common e-government services 3. Under a cloud computing environment, computing resources such as computer servers and data storage can be pooled together for shared use by users. Users can flexibly utilise the computing resources as a service on demand basis. Through a metering function, service providers can measure the resource usage and charge the users for it. /4...
2 FCR( )39 Page 2 4. The proposed GovCloud serves to support the hosting of some common e-government services for shared use by bureaux and departments (B/Ds). We have identified electronic information management (EIM) and electronic procurement as the anchoring e-government services on GovCloud, having regard to the importance and latest development of these two e-government initiatives as follows - EIM EIM, which covers content management, records management and knowledge management, helps B/Ds address effectively and efficiently the ever-increasing amount of paper and electronic records created and received through different sources and in different formats. In pursuance of this initiative, the Office of the Government Chief Information Officer (OGCIO) promulgated in 2011 to B/Ds a government-wide EIM strategy and framework to facilitate EIM implementation in B/Ds. Electronic Procurement Through automating and streamlining the procurement processes in the Government, electronic procurement aims to enhance transparency, efficiency and cost-effectiveness, and to achieve more competitive pricing for Government procurement. We completed a pilot electronic procurement programme for three departments last year. The post-pilot review concluded that the anticipated benefits of electronic procurement were achieved and a business case for wider roll out in Government was established. We consulted the Legislative Council Panel on Information Technology and Broadcasting on 12 April 2012 on the proposed wider roll out of electronic procurement in Government. Members were supportive of the proposal. 5. GovCloud will support about 30 B/Ds, which have expressed interest in using these shared services, to roll out their EIM and electronic procurement services for five years from to GovCloud will comprise a core infrastructure and a shared pool of computing resources. The core infrastructure will cover services of data centre, network, security, resilience, backup and load balancing, as well as components of resource virtualisation, provision and metering. The shared pool of computing resources will consist of server, storage and network resources which will be /dynamically..
3 FCR( )39 Page 3 dynamically provided to e-government services based on individual workload demand. The core infrastructure will facilitate secure, robust and effective hosting and access of the shared pool of computing resources. We believe that GovCloud could enhance the development and delivery of common e-government service in a cost-effective manner. Potential benefits 7. We expect that the implementation of GovCloud can bring about the following benefits Encl. (a) (b) (c) (d) Cost saving - As a shared hosting platform, GovCloud will bring about economy of scale. It will help avoid the need of building duplicated infrastructures for implementing EIM and electronic procurement separately. We can avoid an additional investment of about $67 million over a five-year period if we adopt a centralised approach of building GovCloud. A cost and benefit analysis for the proposed project is at the Enclosure. Time saving - Through the adoption of cloud computing technology, GovCloud will enable rapid provision of computing resources, with lead time of procurement and installation substantially reduced from a few months to a few days. This can help expedite delivery of e-government services and enable earlier delivery of the associated benefits to Government and the general public. For example, a B/D would only require two to three months to roll out a typical EIM service under a cloud computing environment in contrast to at least nine to twelve months under a traditional approach to procure and install the service. Enhanced agility in meeting dynamic demand - GovCloud will facilitate on-demand and flexible provisioning of computing resources. This would greatly enhance agility and responsiveness of B/Ds in meeting dynamic public demands for e-government services. Fostering development of IT industry - The implementation of GovCloud will generate demands for various types of IT professional positions and services in data centre hosting (e.g. data centre facilities management and security management), operations management, project management, as well as IT system integration. It will foster the development of the local IT industry in strengthening relevant skills on implementation and management of cloud services and business models in cloud computing. /To..
4 FCR( )39 Page 4 To leverage on the flexibility of cloud service provision in the market, we will adopt an outsourcing approach for implementing and operating GovCloud as a total solution. This will help create synergy and partnership across different levels and among different sectors in the local IT industry. GovCloud will be a hosting platform to facilitate the development of more e-government services. It will help generate demands on e-government application development, and related maintenance and support services, which will bring about more business opportunities to local IT industry. We have conducted market research to assess the local market capability of providing the required services of GovCloud, and confirmed that the industry is ready to provide such services. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS Non-recurrent expenditure 8. We estimate that the implementation of GovCloud will require a total non-recurrent expenditure of $242,000,000 from to The indicative cost breakdown and cashflow requirements by financial years are as follows: Total (a) Provision of the core infrastructure (b) Provision of the shared pool of computing resources (c) Programme coordination, management and support - 56,000 14,500 14,700 15,000 15, ,500-10,900 4,800 12,300 22,800 44,700 95, ,700 1,700 1,700 1,700 1,700 9,100 Sub-total ,600 21,000 28,700 39,500 61, ,100 (d) Contingency 50 6,870 1,970 2,870 3,970 6,170 21,900 Total ,470 22,970 31,570 43,470 67, ,000 /9...
5 FCR( )39 Page 5 9. On paragraph 8(a) above, the estimate of $115,500,000 is for the provision of the core infrastructure and related services for GovCloud, including hardware (such as core network equipment, remote data backup solution, system resilience and disaster recovery facilities), software (such as resource provisioning tools, metering tools, central management and monitoring tools), operation support, management and helpdesk services, data centre facilities for hosting the core infrastructure, as well as annual assessment and audit on information security and privacy by independent third party. 10. On paragraph 8(b) above, the estimate of $95,500,000 is for the provision of computing resources, including hardware (such as servers, disk storage and tape storage), software (such as server, disk and backup software) and network bandwidth, for the common EIM and electronic procurement services and data centre facilities for hosting the shared pool of computing resources. The computing resources and the related expenditure will be consumed on demand in accordance with the uptake of e-government services by B/Ds. 11. On paragraph 8(c) above, the estimate of $9,100,000 is for the acquisition of contract IT professional staff for programme coordination, management and support in managing the contractor s work for the implementation and operation of GovCloud. 12. On paragraph 8(d) above, the estimate of $21,900,000 represents about 10% contingency on the cost items set out in paragraphs 8(a) to (c) above. 13. The non-recurrent staff cost Note for the implementation of GovCloud will be absorbed within the existing resources of OGCIO. Recurrent expenditure 14. Under a cloud computing model, services are bundled in a way that infrastructure capacity will increase gradually and technology will enhance progressively in light of demand. Such bundled services normally require payment by instalments without a breakdown of charging components. All expenditures are /covered.. Note The non-recurrent staff cost of $18,000,000 represents a total of 204 man-months of in-house IT professional staff effort required for planning and managing the implementation of GovCloud, conducting procurement exercise, performing the subsequent contract management and overseeing the service operation.
6 FCR( )39 Page 6 covered by the estimates stated in paragraphs 8-13, and no additional recurrent maintenance cost of GovCloud will be required in the five-year period from to With a sufficient large service demand generated by B/Ds in using the GovCloud services in the coming five years, we expect that B/Ds will be able to sustain the operation of GovCloud using their own resources beyond IMPLEMENTATION PLAN Governance of the outsourcing arrangement 15. We will adopt an outsourcing approach for implementing and operating GovCloud and will take the following measures to ensure that the outsourcing arrangement will meet the requirements on information security, service quality and service portability (a) (b) (c) to ensure information security, the selected contractor will be required to provide the cloud services under an environment dedicated to the use by Government. The contractor has to comply with prevailing government policies, guidelines and requirements on information security. Thorough assessments and audits on security and privacy will be conducted by independent third party both before and annually after launching the service; to ensure service quality, the contractor should possess relevant professional competence, meet specific technical requirements, fulfill stringent service level agreements and adopt industry best practices on IT service management. The OGCIO will deploy dedicated IT professional staff to oversee the performance of the contractor; and to ensure service and data portability, the contractor has to adopt open standards on portability in its solution. Periodic data backup will be arranged from contractor s data centres to Government s data centre. Contract provisions will also be in place to facilitate smooth service transition and exit arrangement if there is a need to do so. This will enable the Government to have a wider choice of service providers if we are to extend GovCloud to cover more e-government services in future. /Implementation..
7 FCR( )39 Page 7 Implementation schedule 16. The proposed implementation plan is as follows (a) Activity Tendering for services to construct and operate GovCloud Timing July 2012 to December 2012 (b) Construction of GovCloud January 2013 to November 2013 (c) Rollout of GovCloud services December 2013 PUBLIC CONSULTATION 17. We consulted the Task Force on Industry Facilitation and the Task Force on E-government Service Delivery of the Digital 21 Strategy Advisory Committee, which comprise members from the IT industry, academia and relevant B/Ds, in April Members of the Task Forces supported the proposal. 18. We also consulted the Legislative Council Panel on Information Technology and Broadcasting on the proposal on 14 May Members were supportive of the proposal. On Members advice, more elaboration on the governance of the outsourcing arrangement of GovCloud is provided in paragraph 15 above. BACKGROUND 19.
